Benefits of technology

[0032]According to the present invention, an inequality in reception characteristics of control information can be reduced by equalizing resources available for ePDCCHs among terminals.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, taking into consideration the introduction of various devices as radio communication terminals in M2M (machine to machine) communication and the like as well as an increase in the number of multiplexing target terminals due to MIMO transmission technology, there is a concern regarding a shortage of resources in a mapping region for a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) that is used for a control signal (that is, a “PDCCH region”).
If a control signal (PDCCH) cannot be mapped due to such a resource shortage, downlink data cannot be assigned to the terminals.
Therefore, even if a resource region in which downlink data is to be mapped (i.e., a “PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) region”) is available, the resource region may not be used, which causes a decrease in the system throughput.

embodiment 1

[Communication System Overview]

[0055]A communication system according to the present embodiment includes a transmission apparatus and a reception apparatus. In particular, the present embodiment is described by taking base station 100 as the transmission apparatus and taking terminal 200 as the reception apparatus. The communication system is, for example, an LTE-Advanced system. Base station 100 is, for example, a base station that supports the LTE-Advanced system, and terminal 200 is, for example, a terminal that supports the LTE-Advanced system.

[0056]FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating main components of base station 100 according to the present embodiment.

[0057]In base station 100, search space configuration section 102 configures search spaces formed by a plurality of “mapping candidates” based on aggregation level values. Each mapping candidate is formed of the same number of CCEs (control channel elements) as the aggregation level value. The CCEs are obtained by dividing e...

configuration example 1

[0114]FIG. 9 illustrates an example of configuring search spaces according to configuration example 1. The search spaces shown in FIG. 9 are configured for a single terminal 200, and search spaces different from the search spaces shown in FIG. 9 are configured for terminals 200 other than terminal 200 corresponding to FIG. 9.

[0115]As shown in FIG. 9, for aggregation level 1, CCE 0, CCE 5, CCE 10 and CCE 15 are configured as one mapping candidate. That is, for aggregation level 1, CCE #(4N), CCE #(4N+1), CCE #(4N+2) and CCE #(4N+3) are each configured as a single mapping candidate.

[0116]Further, as shown in FIG. 9, for aggregation level 2, a pair of CCE 1 and CCE 3, a pair of CCE 4 and CCE 14, a pair of CCE 9 and CCE 3, and a pair of CCE 12 and CCE 14 are each configured as a single mapping candidate. That is, for aggregation level 2, a pair of CCE #(4N) and CCE #(4N+2) or a pair of CCE #(4N+1) and CCE #(4N+3) is configured as one mapping candidate.

[0117]Further, as shown in FIG. 9, ...

configuration example 2

[0119]“Localized allocation” which allocates ePDCCHs collectively at positions close to each other on the frequency band, and “distributed allocation” which allocates ePDCCHs by distributing the ePDCCHs on the frequency band are being studied as allocation methods for ePDCCHs (for example, see FIG. 10). Localized allocation is an allocation method for obtaining a frequency scheduling gain, and can be used to allocate ePDCCHs to resources that have favorable channel quality based on channel quality information. Distributed allocation distributes ePDCCHs on the frequency axis, and can obtain a frequency diversity gain. In the LTE-Advanced system, both a search space for localized allocation and a search space for distributed allocation may be configured (for example, see FIG. 10).

[0120]Therefore, according to configuration example 2, a case is described in which a search space for localized allocation is configured for aggregation level 2 (aggregation level 1), search spaces for both ...

Abstract

In a transmitting device, each of the plurality of mapping candidates that make up the search space is configured from the same number of control channel elements as an aggregation level value, the control channel elements are obtained by dividing each physical resource block into a predetermined number, and the quantity of resource elements contained in each of the predetermined number of control channel elements in each physical resource block adopts at least two types of values. A search space setting unit (102) sets a search space of which the aggregation level value is 2 or more so that, between a plurality of mapping candidates, variation in the total quantity of resource elements contained in the control channel elements that make up the mapping candidates is as small as possible.
